[GSA] Girl Scouts proven to be Lesbian Anarchist Jesus Haters! More at 11.

I won't read the whole article to you, it's up on the blog, currently the latest post.
The jist of it is basically that a Christian religous group called the American Heritage Girls, run by a lady named Patti Garibay, is apparently spreading rumours about the Girl Scouts such as the above diagram, in order to attract girls away from them and their evil, lesbian, atheist, communist ways and into the light of Jesus. And that includes having them buy a variety of Veggie Tales based merchandise, earn badges at prissy pink princess parties with said DVDs and clothes and such, and learning values like subservience to male dominance, abstinence and gaining self esteem through appearance and beauty rather then content of character. Because women shouldn't have any of that!

I am shocked and appalled at how a good organization of cookie baking girls who learn things like patriotism, charity, compassion and nature skills, are being slandered by a conservative Christian group in order for said group to swindle money out of them and teach them the exact opposite in values, because it's apparently what Jesus wants.
Read the article, follow the many links referenced in it, google search this rumour (it's everywhere) and discuss.

While I'm sure it's not much worse than the amount of clothing/crap a parent buys their child for cubs/guides/scouts/brownies/whatever, the fact that they note selling dvds and crap to the kids is what catches me on this.

No matter how much they swear up and down that it's all about the Girl Guides being an Introduction Into Satan's Lesbian Whore Army, the moment cash flow becomes an issue my suspension of disbelief becomes an order of magnitude harder to maintain.

These aren't just any DVDs ethier. They're VeggieTales DVDs.

I grew up on some of those episodes, and they weren't all that bad back in the day. If these people are using VeggieTales like this though... I can't imagine how bad it is now.

Sorry no, its very simple. Before marriage you need to be subservient to your father who doesn't want you to have sex (and you should be stoned to death if you do). After marriage you need to be subservient to your husband and not use birth control(because birth control is murder). And in case your wondering the father is always right in everything they do so you don't have to worry about any kind of abuse.

He's a shy overambitious dog-catcher on the wrong side of the law. She's an orphaned psychic mercenary with the power to bend men's minds. They fight crime!

I've got good news and bad news about 6th level, That Guy. The good news is that Forbiddance spell allows you to prevent enemies different alignment from entering a consecrated area, which is actually useful! The bad news is that the only other new sixth level spell makes lunch for everybody. Guess which one the party is going to expect you to cast.

One of the reasons I'm no longer Catholic. There are too many loopholes in this line of thinking, and I as a male do not want to be married to a doormat of a female who does nothing but cook and clean.
And that's what these people want women to be. Slaves to men, with no personality or character, dependent on men for everything. Catholics are not as bad in this regard but the idea is still there, and it's stupid.

My sisters are both devout Catholics, and one of them is married. Neither is remotely a doormat, and both of them have jobs.

My aunt put her boys in Boy Scouts but not the girls in Girl Scouts, I wonder if it was because she read something like this. This is just the sort of thing she and her husband would buy hook, line, and sinker.

Aaaand now I crave thin mints.

It's funny because the BSA is an intolerant, bigoted organization which excludes agnostics, atheists, gays, and women, and the Girl Scouts don't do any of that!

Girl Scouts has one major drawback: the amount of motherfucking insurance and triplex signed papers they need to do anything. There's a reason so many drop out to join Venturing (co-ed Boy Scouts with a focus on backpacking and high adventure)
